Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The Danish Foreign Ministry informed Russian Ambassador Vladimir Barbin that the number of employees of the Russian diplomatic mission in Copenhagen should be reduced to a level corresponding to the number of employees of the Danish embassy in Moscow.
Thus, by September 29, five diplomats and 20 administrative and technical employees should remain on the staff of the Russian embassy.
The ministry’s statement notes that Denmark and Russia have been negotiating the issuance of visas to Danish diplomats to support the work of the country’s embassy in Moscow.
“The negotiations did not lead to any results, as the Russian side constantly tried to include the issuance of visas to Russian intelligence officers in the negotiation agenda,” the Danish side said, without disclosing other details.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Western countries have expelled hundreds of Russian diplomats. In particular, in April 2022, Denmark announced the expulsion of 15 employees of the Russian Embassy in the country. In response, Russia declared seven employees of the Danish embassy persona non grata, another Danish diplomat was denied a visa.

It’s amazing that it’s the “little guys” that have shown the greatest courage, bravery and friendship throughout this war. These “little guys” will forever remain in my heart. Thank you Denmark et al
That’s a fact, Sir Cap!
“The Danish Foreign Ministry informed Russian Ambassador Vladimir Barbin that the number of employees of the Russian diplomatic mission in Copenhagen should be reduced to a level corresponding to the number of employees of the Danish embassy in Moscow.”
These places are not diplomatic missions. They are spy nests. They are sources of trouble, of propaganda, and subversion. The sooner that decent countries realize this, the better the chances are to close them down until mafia land gets a real, genuine government, and not ruled by a kleptocratic, fascist, warmongering crime gang.
